GREENSBORO, Ga. (AP) -- Even if the NCAA changes its rule and allows the Atlantic Coast Conference to hold a lucrative football championship game, the league might wait until 2005 to do so.

"You need to make certain that the first time you do it you do it well and give it every chance of being successful," ACC commissioner John Swofford said Tuesday. "You need to give it solid footing to build on for the future."

The ACC last week petitioned the governing body of college sports to let leagues with 10 or more teams play a title game. The addition of Miami and Virginia Tech on June 30 formed an 11-team ACC.
